Section 10, PJM Interconnection Queue The Generator Owner must submit a Generation Interconnection Request directly to PJM if: any Generation is designated in whole or in part as a Capacity Resource to PJM or, if generator intends to sell output to another entity at another electrical location. Generation which is operating behind the meter in isolation from the PJM bulk power transmission system and which does not intend to participate in the PJM wholesale energy market may not need to apply to the PJM interconnection queue. PJM has sole discretion on interconnection queue requirements.
